Guardiola considering Walcott bid

Manchester City are eyeing a move for Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, according to the Independent.

The twenty-seven year old is on a list of potential targets drawn up by incoming City manager Pep Guardiola, who will replace Manuel Pellegrini in the summer.

Walcott has been linked with a move away from the Emirates in recent years, with Liverpool among the sides considering bidding for his services.

He moved to Arsenal from Southampton in January 2006 and has so far racked up almost three hundred and fifty appearances in all competitions, scoring eighty-five goals while he was part of the squad that won back-to-back FA Cups in 2014 and 2015.

Should he move to the Etihad Stadium, he would link up with former teammates Gael Clichy, Bacaray Sagna and Samir Nasri while fellow former Gunners Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor have also made the same move in the past decade.
